There is no textbook for the unit. A copy of DENTITH AND MUDGE (QC807 .D46 2014) or SHARMA (QE501.3.S48) or (TA705.S515/1997), or PARASNIS (TN269P32) or REYNOLDS (QC808.5.R49) or TELFORD (TN269.T44) or KEAREY and BROOKS (TN269.K36) or MUSSETT and KHAN (QE501.M87) would be useful to have around. Copies of relevant sections of the software manuals are on all the computers and I will make them available on the iLearn WEBSITE at https://ilearn.mq.edu.au/login/MQ/ . I will post the assignments and PDFs of relevant sections of the manuals on that site.
